A member asked:
Can showering or wiping prevent pregnancy if sperm comes in contact with vulva,near vulva?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: It takes very little time for sperm to start moving up the vagina and each drop contains about 20 million sperm per drop. wiping off or removing some of the semen does remove some or most of the sperm, but very unlikely to remove all of it. Time for condoms and birth control.

If I touch sperm with my hand then wiped it with clothes and became dry nothing is visible. If I touch my vulva but did not insert my finger in my vagina just touch from outside. Will it cause pregnancy or sperm is already dead and lost its motility?
